Best Reviewed Genre Films of 2007

The top reviewed horror films were:
The top reviewed sci-fi/fantasy films were:
- HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX
- STARDUST
- SUNSHINE
- BEOWULF
- WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY (huh?)
The numbers are a bit depressing. One expects audiences to sometimes embrace glossy but hollow films like HARRY POTTER, but critics should show a little more discernment. GRINDHOUSE is a misstep, and THE MIST is pretty much a disaster. If that were the best the genre cold do, it would be time to call it quits.
